His date of birth is 17 Dec 2005. Please retweet this. If you know him, please tell him to remain anonymous. He just needs to contact DKMS, even if it’s to say ‘no’. That would give us closure.

As a former psychiatric nurse who often worked in group therapy sessions with anxious or depressed patients, there is no 'low level' of anxiety or depression, & any level of it could, without skilled support, eventually lead to acute psychiatric illness. Preventive care is vital.

All children have the right to thrive, no matter their start in life.

Governments cuts to a lifeline fund have had a devastating impact on some of the most vulnerable children and young adults in England.

Join us and Anna Maxwell Martin in calling for the government to reverse all cuts made to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund.

We are still waiting for a date to meet with The Minister for Children and Families, @JoshMacAlister

We have a date to meet with the @educationgovuk (DfE) team managing the ASGSF.

In the meantime we have written this open letter, link below:

https://t.co/qtH3UmBNFA

Please sign our open letter to Josh MacAlister, share this post and encourage others to sign and share.

Parliament is back in session tomorrow, 13th October, let’s remind the government we aren’t going anywhere.

We are stronger together.
The government must listen.

@RachelCDailey I had to correct social workers on this recently. Its shocking how wide spread this misconception is and how much further it will spread.

[Celia Richardson @CeliaRichards0n]

Thank you for all the suggestions for attracting more hot men to the National Trust. My favourite so far was getting Hot Priest to come and hide out in some of our priest holes. If anyone knows Andrew Scott please can you raise the idea with him - just casually.

[Aphra Tulip-Briggs @ATulip]

@aliciaandrz I've been on it for years. It keeps me in check. Since I have been on it, I got married and returned to work after 10 years of being too ill. Hope it works as well for you.

@KARMAENVY @thomas069134 @uncle_deluge Not saying im special. Just trying to learn how you think and how others think.

[Aphra Tulip-Briggs @ATulip]

@KARMAENVY @thomas069134 @uncle_deluge Yes I know what things are there but I dont pull any of it in a virtual sense. Its more like a sentence in my head. This is next to this. The point is its not a picture. Its not even close to a picture

[Aphra Tulip-Briggs @ATulip]

@KARMAENVY @thomas069134 @uncle_deluge I genuinely can't remember the visual details in picture form. If I think of my favourite park. I remember what things are next to each other but I can't conjure up a picture of the band stand even though I've been there many times before.

If anyone is horrified by this weather and wants to give nature a hand then its not too late to join Ecologi https://t.co/fBl2PiEuD9

[💙Rachael Maskell MP @RachaelMaskell]

https://t.co/eFms79jtVs This is a powerful read and clearly sets out why women will be put at risk should these changes to social security go ahead. It is chilling.

[francesca @lacescael]

The Guardian has now confirmed that if an existing claimaint loses their PIP on reassessment, which happens regularly due to assessor error, they will then become a 'new claimant' and therefore subject to the 4-point rule.

So, no one is so-called protected. Kill the bill.

[Tom Scotson @_tomscotson]

Labour MP Rachel Maskell is asking MPs to sign a new *reasoned amendment* to block the welfare reform bill

Maskell's new amendment rejects the bill because:

— No consultation with disabled groups
— OBR will not analyse impact of reforms until late 2025
— Employment funding will not be ready until end of decade
— No government impact assessment

[Disability Rights UK @DisRightsUK]

🚨 Joint statement: Unacceptable “concessions” on the disability cuts MUST be rejected.

It is not a concession for future generations to receive even less support than Disabled people today.

[Gareth Morgan @gmorgan_ferret]

Can we stop talking about £5bn a year spending cut. People on benefits spend their money straight away and very locally. It’s £5bn a year being taken off local shops and businesses. It’s £5bn a year less supporting local jobs. It will close shops and businesses and cut jobs.

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

The Government say that 150,000 unpaid carers will lose Carers Allowance as a result of the proposed cuts in their Welfare Bill.

What the heck are we doing here? In what world is this the right thing to do?

Liberal Democrats will be voting against these appalling cuts.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives.

The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty.

It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.
